Doctor of Music (D.M.)

Doctor of Music (D.M.) applicants for the D.M. degree in violin, viola, violoncello and double bass must submit a preliminary screening recording online for consideration for a live department audition. This audition will be by invitation only and only after a review of the screening recording. Auditions take place during the regular JSOM Audition/Interview weekends. Screening recordings must be received no later than December 1, 2016. Please click here for detailed instructions. The Jacobs School of Music does supply a pianist for doctoral entrance auditions; however, you must contact the chair of the string department as soon as your screening recording has been passed to submit repertoire and arrange a meeting with a pianist.

*Please Note: Applicants who are required to submit pre-screening will submit their letters of recommendation to Decision Desk.
